Lil B’s Fab Stinger Edition Bumper for 2024+ Tacoma Starts at $1,499

Lil B’s Fab has launched the Stinger Edition, a lighter, high-clearance hybrid front bumper for the 2024-and-newer Toyota Tacoma, starting at $1,499 on the shop’s own store. The company announced it October 7, 2026 as the first of a new Stinger line. Lil B’s lists it at 85 to 106 pounds depending on options, built around Superwinch’s compact Scorpion winch, and compatible with Toyota Safety Sense and the parking sensors.

The pitch is a winch and real clearance on the new Tacoma without hanging a full plate bumper off the nose. It’s a small fab shop’s launch, not a big-brand release, so the details below come straight from Lil B’s.

TruckDaily take

Who this is for. Fourth-gen Tacoma owners who wheel in rocks, want a winch up front, and don’t want to give up approach angle or pile weight on the front springs to get it. Overlanders counting pounds fit here too.

Who should skip. Anyone who wants a big full-width bumper for deer strikes and highway miles. A high-clearance hybrid trades coverage for clearance by design. Skip it too if you’re not planning on a winch, or if your budget is closer to a few hundred dollars than $1,500.

What we’d buy. The no-bar steel version at $1,499 if the truck lives on the trail, and we’d add the $60 welded soft-shackle points, since a winch bumper without good recovery points is half a recovery setup. Get the bull bar only if you’re mounting lights on it.

Stinger Edition at a glance

What’s different about it

Lil B’s already sells a hybrid bumper for the fourth-gen Tacoma, plus versions for the third-gen Tundra and sixth-gen 4Runner. The company says the Stinger line has a simple brief: keep weight and material down without giving up strength, and get the most clearance it can. Lil B’s claims “big gains in clearance compared to standard hybrid/plate bumpers.” It hasn’t published an approach-angle number, so treat that as the maker’s claim until someone measures one.

The details that matter on a new Tacoma are covered. The bumper keeps Toyota Safety Sense and the parking sensors working, deletes the grille shutter as standard, and works with the factory skids, so you don’t need aftermarket skids to run it. Frame supports and heavy-duty hardware come in the box.

The winch choice is the tell. Lil B’s built the Stinger around Superwinch’s compact Scorpion. Our read: a smaller winch is a big part of how the bumper stays light and tucked up. If you already own a bigger winch, check with Lil B’s before ordering. The launch post doesn’t list other winches.

Pricing notes

Prices run from $1,499 to $1,809 depending on bar, filler material and recovery points. One price on the store looked off when we checked: the aluminum filler with soft-shackle points showed $1,559, which is less than aluminum alone at $1,599. Confirm the cart total before you check out. Lil B’s notes powder coat is for local orders.
